New buildings.

There are lots of building activities going on in town.

Nice sunny day today.

It feels great!

It might win an international prize.....

My first thought was:
Isn't this quite futuristic?

Followed by:
Why have I never seen it before?

A couple of weeks later, it was mentioned in the newspaper with a link...... Take a look at the article and photos here dailymail.
Helen & Hard is a well known architect company, which have existed 20 years in Stavanger.

I met a big group of Dutch architects, perhaps a year ago, who praised the company and told me about the sightseeing tour they had been on, to see different buildings that the company had designed. Just by listening to all the positive comments, made me proud of being from this part of the world that they all had enjoyed so much.

I think it is a fantastic achievement to just be on the list.

So well done to all the people at HELEN & HARD in Stavanger.

Lucky students.

Some students were lucky and moved into these new student
flats this year.
Walking distance in to the city centre.
It is more expensive to rent a flat in the private market.

Old and new.

I feel sorry for the owner of one of the most beautiful and well kept villas just opposite this new building site....
On the other hand I know there are students ( as well as other people ) who need a place to live.
There were some very old community flats here, that were not far from falling apart, so it was about time that something happened.
